The Walks

Please Help Save The Walks For general background, please see TheWalks.co.uk.

I maintain a list of council and panel meetings.

Celebrating 800 Years I am mostly interested in the surveys done in 1998 and 2000, especially the reliability of the results and how they have been used to justify the bid. For this, I am repeating the 1998 survey. If you have a few minutes to fill it in, please do.

I will publish results and more here later.

I currently hold the following documents about this. Ones marked * can be supplied on request. Others can be consulted at a mutually convenient meeting. Email mjr at dsl.pipex.com
